Historical artifacts, a chest with a book and coins inside, were found during the reconstruction of the Kosava Castle, Artem Brukhan, the chief specialist of the culture department of the Brest regional executive committee told to BelTA.
A small chest made in St. Petersburg was found by builders during the construction of communications. The whole process was under the supervision of an archaeologist. They managed to open the discovery. There were a book and several coins of the early twentieth century inside.
"The book is in a bad way. It was placed in a special freezer so that it does not destroyed. We are waiting for the professor to come from the National Library to take it and try to restore it". Also there were some coins of 1906–1907, said Artem Brukhan. Perhaps, the found artifacts will add the exposition of the castle.
Reconstruction of the Kosava Castle began in 2008. A temporary museum exhibition opened there in November 2017. Now 5 rooms are open for visits. There are materials about Kosava, its surroundings, the Puslovsky family, artifacts found during archaeological excavations. Visitors can also learn about the features of the restoration of the object.
